REIT Securities Fraud

Real Estate Investment Trusts, commonly known as REITS, are illiquid investments that are designed to generate a steady stream of income for its investors. REIT investments often offer investors a higher rate of return than investment grade fixed income. Some REITS trade in the public market, while other non-traded REITS are priced by varying methods. REITS are esoteric investments that are often sold to retirees or other investors seeking income. Investment professionals and their respective employers are required to conduct significant diligence prior to recommending a REIT investment. An investment professional’s research must go beyond reading the offering materials or presenting the materials to prospective investors. The investment professional must understand all the pertinent risks and features, explain those risks and features to the prospective investor, and determine whether such a recommendation is suitable.

Most investment professionals do not conduct adequate research to truly understand the risks of investing in a REIT. REITS have attractive yields and large commissions. As a result, investment professionals focus on the high yield to attract investor interest, while earning large fees and commissions for the recommendation. Investment professionals often fail to explain what the potential risks are for a particular REIT. Despite the industry mandated training and supervision requirements for brokerage firms and banks, little proactive training or supervision of REIT sales are in place. If you have been sold a REIT investment that is no longer paying a dividend, has suffered significant losses, or shows no value on your brokerage statement, you may have a claim for damages.
